Coordinators

The TWO Coordinators for 2015 are Elissa Bowling and Glen Zinck. You can contact them at TWO@tufts.edu

Elissa Bowling - Program Coordinator

Elissa first met TWO on her freshman trip in 2011. Wilderness continued to be a huge part of her life as she became a member of support staff and a two-time backpacking leader. Originally from Lexington, MA, Elissa is majoring in International Relations and History. In her spare time, she has also enjoyed goalkeeping on the women’s club soccer team, trumpeting in jazz big band, and organizing events for the Center for the Study of Race and Democracy. TWO has been the backbone of Elissa’s entire college experience, and she eagerly awaits the opportunity to welcome incoming Tufts students with an extraordinarypre-orientation program!

Glen Zinck – Program Coordinator

Glen has been a part of TWO since his freshman year on a backpacking trip. Since his amazing time on his trip, he was on support staff his sophomore year then a two time backpacking leader his junior and senior years. Glen hails from Seattle, Washington and has loved the outdoors his whole life. He will graduate from Tufts in May with a BS in Biology and can’t wait to welcome the new generation of Jumbos!

Julie Sanduski – Support Staff Coordinator

Julie is a rising junior from the little pleasant town of Pleasantville, NY. At Tufts, you can find her brewing up a good old cup o’ joe at the Rez, cooking up at the TMC Loj, or playing around with her “make-your-own” major. Since her backpacking trip her freshman year and her part in Support Staff her sophomore year, TWO has become her family, and she is excited to welcome in the many new faces!

Christa Ricker- Program Director

Christa joined TWO in the spring of 2012. She is a native of NH with a love for all things outdoors, but most specifically bouldering and winter camping. Christa earned her Bachelor’s degree in Outdoor Education from the University of New Hampshire and is nearing the end of her graduate studies in the same program, this means she is a “double wildcat”. Awesome.

Christa’s main focus in her college studies was on college Outdoor Orientation Programs, and she is so happy to put that passion to use here at Tufts!

When not working with TWO, Christa can be found in the Mayer Campus Center where she is the Assistant Director of Campus Life.
